Genre Oscars roundup
by Doc on Jan.16, 2014, under Movies
The Oscar nominations are out, and there were some sure things (like Gravity) and surprising snubs (Saving Mr. Banks only getting Original Score and Tom Hanks completely shut out). And of course, other than Gravity (which had Oscar star power to start), it is perhaps not surprising to not see genre movies get much appreciation – even with the expanded 10 film Best Picture slate, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug missed the cut.
Here is a roundup of the nominations of genre-related films and their nominations (forgive me if I miss some):
